The Career Center is committed to assisting students and alumni in the successful realization of challenging, meaningful, and rewarding careers. We provide a wide array of cutting edge career-related services - including career counseling and workshops; career library resources; part-time, internship and full-time job search assistance; job fairs; an academic internship program; and a student employment program.

To accomplish our mission, we also partner with employers, alumni, parents and families. The Career Center provides a variety of recruiting services to help employers find qualified applicants who meet their hiring needs. We also recognize the important role parents and families play in a student's career development process. The Career Center offers a number of volunteer opportunities for parents, families, employers and alumni who would like to assist students by sharing "real world" experiences through panel discussions and career-related programs and events.

About the Career Center Name

In June 2002, the RMU Office of Career Services received a generous contribution from PPG Industries. Headquartered in Pittsburgh, PA, PPG Industries is a leading diversified manufacturer that supplies its products and services around the world. PPG has made a significant and visible impact on the office's ability to support the career development needs of students and alumni in order to contribute talent to build the region. PPG Industries' gift funded the renovation of the office and the building of an atrium at its entrance. The office was renamed The PPG Industries Career and Leadership Development Center and showcases an important partnership between the university and this prominent industry leader.
